Making the Most out of FOAF Networks?

Posted by Cliff on from the digital-networking dept.

BFF? asks: "With the rising popularity of online FOAF (Friend of a Friend) networks such as Orkut, Friendster and Linked-In I was wondering if and how people are using these networks to help their career along. Are these social networks just for vanity's sake or are they actually useful when job-hunting?"

  1. Huh? by Keelor · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Anyone confused as to what this has to do with hardware? I realize that the web sites in question are run on hardware, but that seems like a bit of a stretch...

  2. Is Friendster making phones now? by kriston · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Is Friendster making phones now? The only reason I ask is that I'm puzzled how this article could have be categorized under Hardware. I know the Slashdot category taxonomy calls for this but communications is a universe of concepts beyond merely hardware.
